Chapter 126: You Make the Calls

e Head have a particularly good impression of her.Next, Village Head Zhao's tone was also very amiable. After all, he did have a request of them this time."My dear child, you've grown so tall and grac...At the dinner table, Mu praised Fang Jinxiu's cooking skills again and again. Zongbo was the most exaggerated. Every time he ate something delicious, he showered Fang Jinxiu with compliments like they were free.

It was another meal that left me feeling full and satisfied.

As they were clearing the table, Mu Shi glanced at the half-eaten roasted snake meat and her expression suddenly dimmed with a touch of melancholy.

In the evening, Zongyu salted the remaining snake meat with coarse salt and hung it up to dry for tomorrow. This way, it could be stored for a longer time and would not spoil.

Fang Jinshu packed the uneaten roasted snake meat and put it into the basket prepared by Zong Yu.

There was still plenty of fresh snake meat in the basket, it looked like it was meant to be given as a gift.

"What's this" Zong Yu was taken aback.

Fang Jinshui fished a wooden stool and sat beside him, propping her chin up and tilting her head to look at him.

"To Yu Lian."

Zong Yu's eyes flickered, "I thought you didn't like Yu Lian very much."

"Yes, I don't really like her," Fang Jinshi admitted frankly.

"Nobody likes someone who is hostile towards them."

"I know Yu Lian dislikes me, but I had no choice at the time. Being sold to your family wasn't my own decision."

Upon hearing this, Zongyu panicked.

"We don't treat you as a bought slave."

Fang Jinshi saw his nervous expression and smiled.

"I know, you all treat me way better than my parents ever did."

During the few days Zong Yu and Fang Jinshi spent together, she never mentioned her family once.

After the drought, many families sold their daughters and sons to survive.

He just couldn't understand. Fang Jinshu looked like someone who wouldn't be sold, either. She was a good doctor and very intelligent and quick-witted. She was also observant of people.

Fang Jinxiu saw Zong Yu's expression, he seemed to have something he wanted to ask but didn't know how to start. What a fool, what did the villagers think was scary about him

Want to know what's going on at my place

Seeing that she had brought it up, Zong Yu simply nodded.

Fang Jinshu recalled the original owner's memories, her tone couldn't help but turn cold.

"I have four siblings. I have an older brother and an older sister. I am the third child, and there is a younger sister named Xiaochao."

"As for my parents, I won't even bother mentioning them; they're not good people at all."

"In that household, the only thing that worried me was Little Grass."

Speaking of little grass, Fang Jinshi couldn't help but remember the look in her eyes when she first stepped out of her house—a mixture of reluctance and helplessness.

As she spoke, she went blank, a worried expression on her face.

Seeing the situation, Zong Yu's hand hovering behind Fang Jinxiu almost reached out to put its arm around her shoulder and pull her into his arms for comfort, but he hesitated and didn't dare to reach out.

He looked hesitant.

Actually Fang Jinxiu had noticed it a long time ago, she just pretended not to see it, wanting to know if this person would actually come closer.

In the end, Zongyu still put his hand down, but he firmly said to her.

"If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely take you back."

Fang Jinshu leaned her head to one side, looking at him with a hint of confusion. This guy, last time when he was feeding her water, it was clearly him who initiated the kiss.

She almost thought he was going to consummate their marriage right there.

Last time, even though she took the initiative, her mouth was almost chewed to the bone by him.

Though they never explicitly defined their relationship, Fang Jinshu thought Zong Yu probably had feelings for her.

He must have truly treated her as his daughter-in-law to kiss her with such passion, right

What's going on now This guy is actually holding back against his own wife

What is he considering

Fang Jinshu wasn't a passive person. She grabbed Zong Yu's hand as soon as he let go, placing it directly on her shoulder and leaning her head against his shoulder, naturally snuggling into his embrace.

Zong Yu Zhang spread his arms wide, hurriedly moving his hands away.

"Having blood on your hands will stain your clothes."

Fang Jinxiu leaned against him, tilting her head up to stare into his eyes with a gentle smile. "It's fine, it's just dirty."

" Zongyu, if in the future I want to bring my sister to live with us, would you object"

Zong Yu's body stiffened visibly, he didn't say a word. Fang Jinxiu sighed inwardly.

It's understandable though, after all, she just came to the family clan a few days ago. It is indeed a bit excessive to make such a request.

Even though people might not fully trust her yet, she's already thinking about getting her sister over here.

This looks like a lot of trouble.

She straightened her body and slowly moved out of Zongyu's arms.

As soon as she moved, her shoulder was suddenly gripped by a forceful hand, and with overwhelming power, she was pushed back again.

Fang Jinshu looked at him in some surprise.

Only after their gazes met did she realize, Zong Yu's expression was extremely serious. "I won't object,"

"This is your home too, I said so. You can be in charge of anything here."r than three thousand two"The guests on the first floor had noticeably slowed down their bidding. Fang Jinshu suddenly raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Fu Ming."Master Fu, would you be interest...
